Invite John Armstrong to Speak at Your Church or Event
We receive scores of invitations for John Armstrong to speak during the course of a year. Each invitation, regardless of the size of the church or inviting group, is carefully read, prayed over, and responded to by our staff and board. Our sincere desire is to give priority to those ministries that best fulfill our stated mission and commitments. If you have already read our stated mission and commitments, you can fill out our online speaking request form now.
Mission
ACT 3 is a ministry to advance the missional mandate of the Lord Jesus Christ in the third millennium, through the witness of Scripture and the wisdom of the Christian tradition.
Core Commitments
To advance worship in culturally accessible forms, through orthodox theology that is deeply rooted in the classical doctrine of the triune God and through humble collaboration and cooperation within the whole Christian Church.
To advance spiritual formation that renews and reforms the church by a growing love for God, neighbor and one another in the one, holy, catholic and apostolic church, so that the world may believe the Father sent the Son to save it.
To advance the mission of Christ’s kingdom by teaching believers and churches to engage both people and culture with the story of Jesus Christ.
Our emphasis, from our beginning in 1991, has been to contribute to the lives of pastors and lay leadership in the church, by renewing spiritual life in local congregations, missions, and educational institutions. We weigh every invitation that comes to our office with this emphasis in mind.

Finally, it is important that each inviting group understands our financial policy clearly. Though we assess no fees for speaking, wishing to be available to groups and churches of all types, we do believe it is very important for inviting churches and groups to provide as generous a gift to this mission as possible. We operate entirely on the gifts that we receive. Every inviting group must cover expenses for travel and lodging. Dr. Armstrong does not personally receive honoraria for speaking thus all offerings and gifts go directly into the mission budget of ACT 3. We believe the best approach for a church or group is either to receive a designated offering for the work of ACT 3 at the end of a ministry time or inquire about the way groups have commonly supported our mission. The procedure can be negotiated with our office. If this cannot be done please inform us. If you make a contribution (both to cover our expenses and a donation to the ministry) your gift/check must not be given to John Armstrong personally, but to ACT 3.
